You opted to wait a few days until you could take a Rail Car across the Wrightsville Columbia Bridge.
You wait at the Wright house for three days. On the evening of the third day you leave the Wright house and link up with Mr. Goodridge. Mr. Goodridge has you board the train. As you cross the river, the train is stopped. Thinking this is the end you nearly make a run for it but, decide against it. Moments later the train continues moving and you're as good as free!
As the train reaches the station, an African American man approaches your car.
William Whipper: "Hello, Ma'am. I am here to provide you with safe harbor. My name is William. Welcome to Lancaster."
York was very helpful to Margaret in her journey, but she had never dreamed of the assurance she would feel once she reached Lancaster County soil. William was just one of many helpers eager to help conceal her on the rest of her journey. It would not be easy, but the hardest part is over. She made it... Edward Prigg is nowhere close and every day she keeps putting space between herself and her former life in bondage. Thank heavens for the likes of William Goodridge, Samuel Willis, Abraham Hiestand, and the others that found it in their hearts to help those in need.
